Stepper motors provide great features such as low cost, yet they have a drastic drop in torque at high speeds and heavy current consumption when stopped. The TRANSERVO by YAMAHA eliminates all these problems by adopting an innovative vector control method. In effect, the TRANSERVO delivers the same functions of a servomotor but using a lower cost stepper motor.
The TRANSERVO moves heavy payloads faster than typical steppers with conventional controls.
Control is basically the same as a servo motor so power consumption is kept to a minimum, which saves energy.
The resolver used for detecting the motor position is the same reliable resolver as used in our high-end robots. Resolvers offer stable position detection even in harsh environments containing dust or oil, etc. Additionally, the resolution of the resolver is 20,480 pulses per one revolution.
A newly developed rail guide is employed, with a 4-row circular-groove guide system, built into a very compact actuator. The guide maintains a satisfactory rolling movement with minimal ball differential slip. The rugged design ensures long life.
